Liverpool: Fan goes viral for impression of Martin Tyler’s commentary for Minamino’s goal

Martin Tyler is, and forever will be, a legend of the Premier League era.

The voice of so many golden moments over the past three decades, it’ll be a shame when Tyler does eventually hang up the microphone.

Those who were expecting more of a passionate reaction from Tyler when Minamino equalised and then Joel Matip netted the winner in the second half were left sorely disappointed.

The difference between Tyler’s commentary and that of Peter Drury was stark.

And one fan has gone viral after uploading a video to TikTok pretending to Tyler when Minamino’s goal went in.

Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium – scene of arguably his most famous line of commentary from the final day of the 2011-12 campaign – is his most likely destination.

City will
